Shortie Posted March 20, 2016 Share #1 Posted March 20, 2016 Pervasive Prevention: A Feminist Reading of the Rise of the Security Society English | ISBN: 0754675645 | 2010 | 158 pages | PDF | 2 MB `The Prevention Society' is a definition that can otherwise be summarized as: the information society, the risk society, the surveillance society or the insecure society. This book shows the connections and differences between these explanations, whilst providing a gender reading of the ways in which social control manifests itself through precautionary measures. Todays diffuse and pervasive prevention imperative symbolizes both a self-defining doctrine and the justification for a means of repression, segregation, and exclusion. From bodies to daily life and preventative war, Pervasive Prevention investigates the effects of this imperative for social control, its connection with neo-liberal hegemonic ideology, and the centrality in its dealings with women and the feminine.
